Tabitha Handelong

Hi,

I’m so proud of you for taking the time to prioritize yourself! It’s not easy to process, explore, and manage all of the things that life puts onto our plates.

My name is Tabitha (she/her). I am a New Jersey Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I began working in the social services field in 2015, which urged me to pursue my master’s degree in social work from Rutgers University in 2020.

I take a person-centered approach to therapy and work best with adults with alternative lifestyles who are struggling with anxiety and depression. I utilize a mix of evidenced-based therapies (EBTs) and modalities including cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution focused (SFT), and harm reduction interventions coupled with holistic interventions focusing on mind, body, and spirituality.

I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship. I work to provide a supportive and safe environment where my clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. If you choose to work with me, we will explore the impact on your life from the intersections of your identity(ies), social system(s), mental health symptom(s), aspects of human behavior, and more.

If you feel like I would be a good fit for you or would like to learn more, please don't hesitate to reach out!
